(A-D): C
|
|||
| Aim: The aims of the course are * to give an introduction to the chemistry of coordination compounds (�?�complexes�?�), including symmetries of complexes, and some spectroscopic methods that can be used for characterisation of complexes. * to emphasise the quantitative aspects of chemistry. This is mainly done in connection with various computer-aided calculations of complex equilibria. * to train the students in presenting a scientific report orally and in writing at a seminar. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Inorganic Chemistry 2 (NKEB 21), Organic Chemsitry 2 (NKEB 22), Physical Chemistry 2 (NKEB 33), Mathematics and Statistics (NMAA 30), or equivalent. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The character of the course is one of full-time studies. Lectures, lessons, a number of laboratory exercises, and two written examinations take place during the first _ of the course and the last _ will be occupied by a laboratory project work, including the preparation of a project report. The written examinations, called Examination I (2 p) and II (3 p) cover the below points 2-4 and 5-8, respectively. |
|||
| Course contents: 1. Introducing literature search utilising database(s) 2. MATLAB as a tool for solving chemical problems 3. Basic error-analysis, linear regression and least-squares methods 4.
